  • Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

    Hi .
    I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
    From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
    After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
    I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
    My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
    Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
    But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
    A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
    a player which is sealed box pack .
    Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
    Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
    I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
    Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
    Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
    Pls help urgently .
    Waiting for any valued suggestion .
    Bye ...

  • Zen Stone Plus: Does it start playing again where i stopped the so

    I hope one og you can help me.
    I want to know if the Zen stone Plus MP3 player starts in the same song after it has been turned off.
    So if I turn it off 3.4min in a song, does it then start at 3.4 when i turn it on again, or does it start from the beginning of the song
    The reason i ask is because i often use the mp3-player to hear "sound-books", and the files are often very long, so its very annoying when my current mp3 player starts from the beginning of the file after i have heard maybe 30 min

    I believe the pattern with the Stones has been that if you plug them in for charging, even if you don't update the mp3s, playlists, etc., they essentially get "reset" when they resume.
    They pick up where you left off as long as you *don't* plug them in for charging, changing what's loaded, etc.
    I don't recall it being possible to do something like set a bookmark.
    Basically, you should have several hours of play / resume time like you desire, but if you have to charge the player at some point, you'll have to go back to the beginning of the file. Not sure if they can alter this in future firmware or not.

  • Zen stone plus 2gb god **bleep** error

    ok i have the 2gb zen stone plus and my problem is it's a.not being recognised by my computer b. it does nothing to play music store files etc c.when it's chargd i turn it on but all i get is the creative logo and nothing else but the small blue light that is supposed to flash on and of stays on fully instead of flashing on and off. does anyone have any ideas to resolve this problem? preferably knowing how to format my player.

    So the player will not turn on correctly at all? Have you tried it on another PC to see if it's recognised there, and so you could format it and/or update the firmware. Has the player been working correctly until now, or did you just purchase it's

  • Zen Stone Plus: does not charge/power on / isn´t reconized by my

    Hi!?Bought a few days ago a zen stone plus but haven't tested it. Aboiut 2 weeks later I opened the boix and noticed the player does not charge, or power on and is not recognized by my pc as well...
    What should I do? The shop where I bought it is about 600 km away from my home...
    Regards?

    Try it on another PC if you can to be sure the player is having a problem, if it does the same there then I would advise contacting Customer Support so they can assist you.

  • Queries about Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker .

    Hi ,
    This one goes out to all friends who have?used Zen Stone Plus with built in speaker for some time ...
    As stated in the box pack of giving a standby time of 20hrs continious playback ...
    What is the approx backup time it offers or rather it should offer on minimal scuffling and minimum change of settings of the player?
    Reply soon .
    Byeee .

    I haven't tested it off yet as I always charge it after one bar of the battery indicator has gone. But thought I try to use it'suntil it's completely flat this time. After listening to 4. albums and minimal playing in the menu the battery indicator still says full.

  • Zen Stone Plus 2GB -- Unresponsive

    I have had my Stone for a couple months now, and just recently it has been giving me problems. On Friday I was using it in the car and turned it off while stopping in a store. When I returned and tried to play it, the Creative symbol came on, followed by the Zen Plus screen and then went blank. I then thought that it just needed a charge and brought it home. After leaving it in my computer for a day, I took it out and found it was still doing the same thing. I tried charging it again but that didnt work either. When it was plugged into my computer it showed a full 3 bars, followed by a lightning bolt. The next time I tried, I found that not only has it become unresponsi've (no lights, or screens), the computer is not recognizing it.
    I hope this does not mean the end for my MP3, because I have enjoyed it up to this point. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try attaching the player to the computer. While it is connected use a paperclick (or straightened staple) to click the reset switch.
    Hope this hel

  • NEW Zen Stone Plus does not work

    It looked like it started to charge, but then it just died and Windows does not detect the dri've. I have tried hooking it up to another computer but no go!
    I've tried all the troubleshooting on the page and nothing seems to work, it's just completely dead even though it's brand new. I wasn't even able to upload songs to it.
    any tips? or should I just send the player back? The problem is that I am in Iceland and bought it in Toronto, Canada so I would like to try everything before sending it.
    thanks in advance!

    I used these instructions and got all the way to reloading the firmwear. Then it said to restart the comp and I did and after that nothing! What am I doing wrong?
    Hi everyone
    There is a Recovery Mode for the flash-memory players although it is different from the Rescue Mode for the HDD players - that is used for carrying out maintenance operations on the player but Recovery Mode for the flash-memory players is just a different way of connecting your player to your PC when it won't normally connect, for example, when the firmware has become corrupted and the player won't start and isn't recognised by the PC. It is in fact a way of communicationg directly with the STMP3500 chipset that these players use without needing any additional firmware.
    Creative themselves called it Recovery Mode - it was first seen when Creative posted the instructions for a previous firmware upgrade that could not be run when connected normally. For the N200 it was in the instructions to upgrade to version .5.0.
    Here's a line from the instructions for the latest N200 firmware upgrade, v.20.04:
    When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
    Here are the instructions:
    . Download and install the Mass Storage Drivers from the website.
    2. Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to the PC. If you have a one-piece player then remove the battery first.
    3. Keep pressing Play until the New Hardware Wizard starts - this will only happen the first time you put your player into Recovery Mode.
    4. Complete the New Hardware Wizard.
    To check that you are in Recovery Mode open Device Manager (right-click My Computer and choose Properties, then the Hardware tab and Device Manager) and look for a Player Recovery Device entry.
    When in Recovery Mode you can reload the firmware.

  • Zen Stone Plus on Macint

    Hi!
    I have new ZEN Stone Plus 2GB Black
    but i have a question - about charging - I have Mac OsX and when i connect it to computer the charging icon appears on the display, but I has been charging for few hours now and still there is steady blue light - not blinking - can anyone tell me how long does it take to fully charge the battery when I connect it for the first time and secondly - is there any software for Mac OsX 0.4.0?
    thanks a lot!

    funny(!!) I have the same model (Zen Stone Plus) and the exact error occurs to me to --a power sign and NO CHARGE!!
    I thought I heard that with Zen -starting it (re-boot) with the Zen plugged-in already will let it work? I tried that and , that didn't help.. -Does any Forum user have any idea what to try?

  • Zen stone plus no longer wo

    Hello all! I've been very happy with my Zen Stone Plus (2GB) until suddenly it doesn't work. It seems to charge ok but turning it on, the "CREATIVE" starting logo just stays on the screen forever (until the battery runs out I presume). When connected by USB, if I double click on the player's icon in My Computer the explorer window crashes.
    My first thought was to update the firmware (I've never done this before) but on the creative website I cannot see my exact product supported (closest matches are Zen Stone Plus with built-in speaker and Zen Stone Plus (4GB)).
    What should I do? Thanks for your time.

    At the?BOTTOM of the page where you found the other Zen Stone products, it will say something such as click here, if your product or player isn't shown. That will take you to the page you need.
    When you are on the correct page be sure to click at the bottom of that page to show the entire list of firmwares and software available. Creative is very good at hiding things and you have to read carefully. Skimming the pages while reading?doesn't work to your advantage
